SUSPENSORY.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Aug. 14. 1900.

Application filed May 15, 1905 Serial No. 280,424.

To all whom 136' may concern-.-

Be it known that I, MA): B. ilHtSG-H, a. citizen of the United States of Americe and a resident of Chicago, in the countyoi Cook and State of Illinois, have invented eertein new and useful In: rovements in Suspenseries, of which the to lowing is a specification.

This invention relates to snspensory bandegree; and its main object is to provide e device of this class having a washable hemmock-shaped sack provided with simple and eflicient means-for suspending said sack from a belt or the like and adopted to permit the seek to be readily removed without disturb ing the position of the belt or other supporting means upon the body of the wearer.

Further objects of this invention are to provide means for readily adjusting the position of the such with respect to its supports to suit the needs of each individual wearer and to provide an improved form of clip for connecting the sunk with the su porting-belt.

I accomplish these objects J the device shown in the accompanying rewings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective View of a suspen sory device constructed according to my in vention. Fig. 2 shows a. modified form of connecti n between the sack and supporting- ,apc. Fig. 3 is e side elevation of one of the attaching members, showing the disposition of the tongue with respect to the face thereof. Fig. 4 shows a modified form of suehmember. In the form shown in the drawings the seek 1 is supported from a belt 2 by means of a peir of tapes 3. The belt 2 is provided with the usual buckle 4. The sack I is formed of soft loosely-woven washable mate rial and is formed in the shape of a hzumn'ock, so as to permit of being securely suspended from two points 0f its rim. The rim of the sack 1 is reinforced by a. binding of tape 5 or is otherwise rendered inelastic, though [lexible--as, for instance, by being tightly woven. Two methods of applying the tape 5 are shown in the drawings. In Fig. .1 the tape 5 is formed into loops 6 at the supportingoints of the sack I, and the tapes 3 or the ike, \Vl'lifill support the seek from the belt, are passed through said loops. in the form shown in Fig. 2 the supportinwtnpos 3 are a continuation of the tape 5, which binds the rim of the sock.

the sack and its contents is entirely carried in either case the weight of seam 7 should lie entirely in the vertical plane midway between the points of support of the sack.

In the form shown in Fig. l the belt is provided with two sup orting members 8, each of which consists 0? a plate of sheet metal having a pair of parallel slots 9 at opposite ed es thereof for receiving the band of the be t, as in Fig. 1. Each oi s aid members also has at its lower ed e a slot 10 at right angles to the slots 9. and one end of the ta 6 3 is securely attached to the member 8 at t e slot 10. A springiongue 11 is formed on the member 8 by cutting on inverted-U-sha ed slot in said member in the part which E lietween the slots 9. The tongue or clip 11 is then bent outwerdlyet an angle, as shown in Fig. 3. To su )port the sack I, each tape 3 is passed throng one of the loops 6, and its ree end 12' is then passed between the tongue 1 l' and the adjacent face of the member 8 and jennn ed.

In the form shown in Fig. 2 the tape 3 forms is. part of the sack l and is attached to 6518 member 8 only by means of the spring- (2 i l 1.

ihe belt is preferably rovidedwith a disk iii, of cloth or other Sari material, which is adjusted to a osition midway between the members 8 endlassists the wearer in centering the belt when the some is being applied.

The modified form of the member 8 is pro- Vided for cases Where the belt is worn rectiy against the skin of the wearer, in which it is not desirable to have metallic ports in contact with the skin. In this form the plate which forms the base of the member 8 is formed of leather or other flexible noncorrosive nmteriel, and the s ring-tongue I1 is formed on a separate meta plate 14, which is secured to the beoking-plote. In this case I prefer to have two parallel slots 9 at each edge of the leather backingr-plate.

In applying the device s 8 may be shifted toward and away from each other so es to dispose the supporting-tapes 3 at any desired angle with res set to each other, and the tapes 3 are readily adjusted by shifting the position of their free ends in iown the members
